A level-ground walking method for a bipedal robot with a torso is proposed.
Hip SEAs support the torso as well as complement energy via elastic potential energy.
Our simple control scheme can lead to an efficient and natural stable period-1 gait.
A variety of bifurcation gaits are observed, many of which never reported before.
Bifurcation gait can be controlled to period-1 gait, which has better performance.
